Jet & Blue ride together for the first time!

This morning i drove my brother out to pick up his "new" 1980 1000 LTD. He bought it a couple of weeks after i got my '80 650. It has been at our friends shop getting it's baseline checkup as well as new drag bars and updated turn signals.

He got the bike and headed off to work and i headed off to teach. Around 5:30 heading home i passed a blue flash coming the other way. It was Vince heading on his evening supper brake. We pulled over and decided it was a much better idea to go ride in the country. 40 miles later we rolled back into town. I headed home and he headed to work still hungry but grinning like a 50ish year old kid

BTW on the ride i rolled over 700 miles. Not bad for only a month and a half "old" in the middle of winter.

Crazy bout these bikes!

Too cool! I know that there have been a lot of times where I have put off food for a quick ride. Mine is broken at the moment and it's only been a few days but I'm jonesin just the same.

Seriously. The 2 weeks we just had under snow bout drove me crazy.

Used to be an underground coal miner back in the mid 70s. Never ever took the Z1B to work when I was working the afternoon shift. Never ever could stop at that portal and spent many a day in the superintendant's office explaining my lack of dedication to the job. If only he had known.....

I'm lucky, when my boss can't get a hold of me couse i'm out on a ride, he doesn't get mad he is just jealous.

I can picture that entire event taking place. Nice bikes and by the sound of it, in the hands of the right kind of owners

Nice picture. Now what will black and blue get themselves into once it warms up some more? Glad you guys are liking the bikes.

Glad you guys enjoyed the pic and story. I have a feeling Jet & Blue will find plenty of mischief to get into. They are already scheming for a run down to Mt Nebo AK.

Tomorrow they are gonna do the run we call the "Tail of the Lazy Dragoon". MO HY 125 from Springfield down cross the AK border to Peel's Ferry. Then back and over through Branson and up the west side back to Springfield. About 220 miles. Pray the rain holds off!

pretty bikes and good camera shot.....more!!!1

Sounds great except for forcast. Good luck. Little unstable around here latley as well. Cherry trees have been blooming for a few weeks. Theres another road calls little dragon here in the CA foothills I'd like to ride.

Should put a date on that and get it done. Tri ya wanna go?
